> ...I work with a lot of people in mainland China and no one has any problems with the government, they stick to their own business and are doing pretty damn well.
The topic of this subthread is not the attitudes of mainland Chinese, it's the attitudes of mainland Chinese who have immigrated to work at Google for economic reasons. I have friends who came from mainland China, and have talked to them about how their attitudes have changed over time. They don't all stay fixed in the officially-sanctioned mainland mindset.
> Obviously this could change one day but thats not our job as non-chinese citizens to decide.
So you're saying if someone is happy with something at least in part because they've been lied to, it's wrong for someone to interfere with their attitudes by trying to tell them the truth?
